Meatloaf
Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 4 slices bread ripped into 2 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup parsely chopped
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Glaze
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar packed
- 4 tbsp cider or white vinegar
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic power
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a broiler pan (oven grill pan), or regular baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, soak bread slices in the milk, pressing them down with your fingers. Allow to soak while sautéing the onion.
- Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and sauté for a further 30 seconds until fragrant. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
- Mash the soaked bread with a fork to break up large pieces. Add in the onion/garlic, beef, parmesan, eggs, parsley, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until everything is just combined (try not to over-mix).
- Scoop meat mixture into a loaf pan, pressing down lightly to form into a loaf shape. Turn out onto prepared tray.
- In a smaller bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the glaze. Spread half of the sauce evenly over the top; reserve the renaming sauce for later.
- Bake the meatloaf for 50 minutes, then spread half of the remaining sauce over the top. Return to the oven and bake for a further 20 minutes.
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Mix any pan juices with the remaining sauce to serve!
